Graham Reid steps down as Indian men’s hockey team chief coach following World Cup debacle | Hockey News – Times of India

The 58-year-old Australian was appointed India coach in April 2019 and led the team to a historic bronze medal finish at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
“The team’s Analytical coach Greg Clark and Scientific Advisor Mitchell David Pemberton also submitted their resignation. All three will be serving their notice period over the next month,” stated a Hockey India release.
Reid tendered his resignation to Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey a day after the conclusion of the World Cup, where Germany emerged champions after beating Belgium in a penalty shoot-out.
“It is now time for me to step aside and hand over the reigns to the next management,” Reid said.
“It has been an honour and privilege to work with the team and Hockey India and I have enjoyed every moment of this epic journey. I wish the team all the very best,” Reid added.
Having accepted Reid’s resignation along with Greg and Mitchell’s, HI chief Tirkey said, “India will always have gratitude towards Graham Reid and his team of support staff who have brought good results to the country, particularly the Olympic Games. As all journeys move to different phases, it is now time for us to move on towards a new approach for our team.”
